[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 2323658, member: 12570"] Yes, we all want our kids to do better than us, not just financially but as overall persons (people?). I enjoyed my year in Sicily. Experienced a culture that I never would have had otherwise. There were many who never left the base other than when they left to go back home for good. I will never forget my immediate supervisor. We had local nationals come in and clean our office but rather than learning a few basic Italian words he would just talk louder to them. I also enjoyed our 4 years in West Texas. My ex was able to advance her nursing career and I thoroughly enjoyed life on a training base. 2.5 hour lunches, taking turns leaving early on Friday, the flightline shutting down almost like clockwork every afternoon in the summer due to thunderstorms in the area. One of the raps against the military are the substandard medical care on on base schools. Our kids would have received their medical care and gone to school off base. Sports were a big part of their lives growing up and would have been had we stayed on active duty. My son did tell me a few years ago that my ex conceded that she felt bad about forcing me to separate from the military. [/QUOTE]
